From an article in the Feb. 5 issue of the NY Times:
"Some cities that were bustling centers of commerce just a generation ago have become modern-day Pompeiis. Cities that have lost more than a third of their population include St. Louis, Phnom Penh and Johannesburg."
Ah, such lovely company we keep.

It's worse than that--the city lost 2/3 of our population.
